Governor-General responds to reports Morrison took on extra portfoliosThe Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General has released a statement addressing the reports former prime minister Scott Morrison secretly swore himself into three ministerial positions while in government. “The Governor-General, following normal process and acting on the advice of the government of the day, appointed former Prime Minister Morrison to administer portfolios other than the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,” the statement read. “The appointments were made consistently with section 64 of the Constitution. “It is not uncommon for Ministers to be appointed to administer departments other than their portfolio responsibility. These appointments do not require a swearing-in ceremony – the Governor-General signs an administrative instrument on the advice of the Prime Minister. “Questions around appointments of this nature are a matter for the government of the day and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Similarly, the decision whether to publicise appointments to administer additional portfolios is a matter for the government of the day.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has slammed Mr Morrison’s decision to take on extra portfolios while in office, labelling the move a “centralisation of power”. So Lachlan Murdoch who runs a 24 hour, international lie factory Fox & Sky News (that no one watches) with a sideline in hatred, threatens legal action claiming he has been lied about. Fucking rich & a joke Gough and Lance Barnard were the entire Cabinet for 3 months in 1972/73. 🤷‍♂️ How did we not see it 😂😂

‘We all know Scott Morrison had trouble doing the job he had’: AlbanesePrime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australians need a prime minister that’s 'focused on the job that they’re given,” after it was revealed former prime minister Scott Morrison was secretly sworn into three cabinet positions during the pandemic. “We all know Scott Morrison had trouble doing the job that he had,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference. “Perhaps it was because he was doing so many different jobs that we didn’t know that he had.” Australians need a prime minister that’s 'focused on the job that they’re given,” Does that apply to you AlboMP They can't believe they won the elections. Yeah well Albo needs to focus on the future- all he seems to care about is the past

PM reveals Morrison was appointed to five extra portfoliosFormer prime minister Scott Morrison was appointed to five additional portfolios while in government, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed. Mr Albanese said Mr Morrison was appointed to the ministries of health, finance, home affairs, treasury and resources, in addition to his role as the head of Prime Minister and Cabinet. “Each of these appointments made under section 64 of the Constitution,' Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Tuesday. “It is completely extraordinary that these appointments were kept secret by the Morrison government from the Australian people. It is completely contradictory, too, for example, the questions that ministers answered on the floor of the House of Representatives and the Senate.” Go you good thing. He was a workhorse. Too bad each way Albo can't even do his one job Yeah it's odd but sworn in by GG himself so is AlboMP implying there is something wrong with the GG's participation? I think not. Does this issue require Albo to dedicate 110% of his time to finding skeletons in ScoMo's closet while cost of living crisis & services fall away. Give it a rest Like a dog with a bo bone
